So what physical medium will Microsoft be using for their next gen console?

Physical medium.

Paper then

Now that I'm thinking of it, it makes even more sens to have alonger lifecycle for the current gen... otherwise they would be forced to take the Blu-Ray.

Why do people think MS using BluRay is such an inconceivable thing?  Just because the PS3 using it doesn't mean it's a Sony only thing or some admission of supreme defeat using it.

If it's the next format, it's the next format.  If HDDVD had won, Sony would probably use that in their next console assuming it was still around when their next console was released.

I don't think they will not use Blu Ray simply because Sony won out with that format war with HD-DVD. Microsoft didn't exactly wholeheartedly support it anyway with the add on. I just would love to see them use holographic storage mediums. Everything I hear is great. I just wonder whether it is coming along fast enough.
